La Rondine Lyrics in English Mango

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Rondine by Mango from Italian to English.
I'd want you, I'd want you
As always I'd want you
Night will fall, you'll think of me
But what do you know about dreams
They're mine, I won't sell them
What do you know, what do you know
Who knows what you'll write me
Maybe a goodbye, or maybe not
But what do you know about dreams
Even though you're
My swallow that's flown away
You're my half flight
You're my step into the void
Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?
Only love I'd live again
You taste of the north wind
You smell good but not of us
Same half moon
You're in the wrong sky
I don't know, I don't know
How much time I'll kill
My own book, I won't read you
While kissing you on the mouth
I'll write it another time
Even though you're
My swallow that's flown away
You're my half flight
You're my step into the void
Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?
Only love I'd live again
You taste of the north wind
You smell good but not of us
Same half moon
You're in the wrong sky
My love
Even though you're
My swallow that's flown away
Same half moon
You're in the wrong sky

La Rondine paints the bittersweet panorama of a love that has flown away like a swallow, leaving the singer hovering between sky and ground. Mango’s lyrics mix delicate nature images—wind from the North, a half-shared moon, a “wrong sky”—with the personal ache of unfinished dreams. The narrator clings to private visions he refuses to “sell,” yet he cannot help wondering if the next message from his lost lover will be a goodbye or a sign of hope.

At its heart, the song captures that suspended feeling after a breakup: you are mid-flight, still lifted by memories but already stepping into an empty space. The swallow symbolizes both the freedom and the fleetingness of love, while lines like “sei il mio volo a metà” (“you are my half-flight”) underline how incomplete life feels without the other. Despite the sorrow, there is a tender acceptance—an understanding that some loves live on only in the sky of our dreams, forever circling yet never quite landing.
